Frosty's astor GTi6
#14
Bit more of an update then, from having a proper look over the car last night there is a few decent bits on the car. A list of the shiney parts as i can see is:
Avo front coilovers with baker BM top mounts
Some sort of adjustable anti roll bar links
Spax rear shocks
Decat and mongoose exhaust i think it is
baker BM gear linkages
baker BM oil breather hose kit
OMP dish steering wheel
Alpine front speakers and uprated rear speakers
Lower strut brace (thinks its an OMP one)
Team dynamic pro race 1.2s
Mtech grooved discs and pads all round
Rallye blanks

Think that's about it, sadly the passenger side coilover is pretty knackered and the rear shocks look like they have seen better days. Most of the rest of it seems reasonable. Wheels are pretty tidy bar a couple of marks but front tyres are bold.

So i had it on the ramp for a good look over to see what's it's like, not that greater news sadly. It's going to need a bit of work. First bit i saw was inside the drivers side front arch by the screen wash bottle neck looked a bit crusty.

And from underneath

Will need a bit of repairing but will have a proper look when i get everything out the away. Can't think i have seen a 306 go there before though but this one has got knacker front arch liners that couldn't be helping.

Next area that will need attention is inside the passenger side wheel arch, pretty sure its right in front of the dash.

This will certainly be a dash out job to sort i reckon. Other than them to bits it isn't too bad underneath. There a few bits that need cleaning and treating etc now before they get bad.

Both front chassis legs are pretty good as well which seems to be the common places these are now starting to go

Only a few other bits that i found that concern me are where the bottom rad pipe goes into the rad is leaking even after someone's attempt to fix it

And just bits like the ABS sensors on the front are the wrong way around the struts and have been rubbing against things. Basically there a few little bits and bobs that need doing.

It will be getting a proper good going through now though. The engine will be coming out to clean up and clean and tidy up the engine bay. Dash will be coming out to sort out that welding that's needed in the passenger front arch. I do need to take the rear arch liners out to check on the condition in there as well.

Progress will be slow but i will try and sort out any bits that don't cost anything/very much for the time being to try and keep it ticking along.

Thanks for reading, comments and feedback welcome Smile
